Subject: [PATCH] media: prefer generic SPDX-License expression to deprecated one

Commit 8d395ce6f04b ("media: dvb-core: Convert to SPDX identifier") and
commit e67219b0496b ("media: b2c2: flexcop: Convert to SPDX identifier")
introduce the SPDX-License expression LGPL-2.1-or-later for some files.

The command ./scripts/spdxcheck.py warns:

  drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: LGPL-2.1-or-later
  drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_demux.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: LGPL-2.1-or-later
  drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: LGPL-2.1-or-later
  drivers/media/common/b2c2/flexcop.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: LGPL-2.1-or-later

The preferred SPDX expression for LGPL-2.1 or any later version is with
the more generic "+"-extension for "any later version", so: LGPL-2.1+

This makes spdxcheck happy again.

Fixes: 8d395ce6f04b ("media: dvb-core: Convert to SPDX identifier")
Fixes: e67219b0496b ("media: b2c2: flexcop: Convert to SPDX identifier")
